Spyderco Forums

I hope this scenario will never happen as I do enjoy variety in my spyderco collection. The best F&F knives I have are PPT and Chap - both made in Taichung. My Italian Urbans and Squeak are affordable in Europe, most probably due to being produced here in Europe. Chinese Spydercos are really ama...

Very good topic and something I discussed over a pint with my friend last week. I used to love super tactical overbuilt knives, dreaming about different silly scenarios, fantasies about how I would use knife for SD etc. Mind you, I was 14 when my interest in knives started. Over the years I started ...

if you put a torx head on both sides of the chicago screws, it's not obvious which side is there to be loosened and which should be held still. I think it'd make more sense to have a flathead on the barrel side and a torx on the screw side. This is alleviated if the hole is round. Then one turns an...

I have not owned my k390 Urban since new, but it's spring is way weaker than the one one n690co that I got new few months ago. I am thinking of drilling the screws out and put the blade to my new Urban as for now the k390 is collecting dust ad that is a pure shame. My experience with K390 is differ...

Truth to be told the same issue I have with my K390 Urban and my AEB-L version and Squeak starts to have way lower resistance as well over time. Somehow it seems that spring, with some time and use, gets weaker in terms of resistance. I can close my K390 just with slight pressure on the spine, one h...

I have to say I will start focusing more and more on Value folders from Spyderco since prices in Europe are crazy for some time. Tenacious and Resilience in S35VN, Polestar and Alcyone in CTS BD1N and Astute are knives I need to purchase this year. If Astute came in CTS BD1N I would by probably two ...

I like all my knives but I am surprised how much I like getting back to Tenacious in humble 8cr13mov steel and Tan FRN. Used to have Tenacious, actually my first proper knife and Spyderco, when it was just released. Now these days I have a feeling I should not like it for it`s steel but I fell in lo...

So I applied some KPL and loosened the pivot screw, and now it’s much smoother! The only thing is, the more I loosen the pivot screw, the more off center the blade is when closed. So to have it at a comfortable looseness, the blade almost rests against the side of the right scale when closed. It’s ...

Some amount of rock seems kinda inherent to the backlock design. It doesn't only happen on Spyderco backlocks. Some knives have lock rock out of the box. Some knives develop it noticeably after a lot of use. Some have it only minimally if at all. My non-knifemaker observations are that the cause of...

Lock rock on Seki models is much more pronounced than on the others (Taichung, Golden), that is fact. It is most definitely something I dislike on otherwise great models. Saying it is not issue, it is normal etc. is a moot point. What causes lock rock? There are few things that might cause it but I ...

Well, what you can do now is to get in DIY project and refurbish this beauty - scratches on the blade can be remediated easily as I did that on my PPT in S90V - Diamond Resin Sandpaper, some good oil (I used motor oil), tape parts you don`t want to mess up. Put few drops of oil on a piece of sandpap...

I love Spyderco, out of all Modern Cutlery companies I am solely collecting just Spydies but of course I do have some dislikes where I think Spyderco could improve as part of CQI: Overbuilt in cases where it is not exactly needed Squeak, Para3 for examples would benefit from thinner blade stock and ...

I am owner of Urbans and Squeak, so basically same thing as UKPK. On all of these models the spring tension loosened up. Most noticeably on my K390 Urban which I used and carried for three years as true EDC knife (not a single day without it). That Urban can be now closed very easily with one hand w...

A pox on your mother's boyfriend. Merely jesting. Might otherwise have been a great guy.

Well until today I have the same opinion as you - not the most pleasant person in the world and it didn’t get better with age, rather the opposite.

I love the Delica. I tried them all, I go back and forth but at the end of the day I have to admit... Delica is probably the most iconic 3 incher edc spydie and best seller for a reason. It's almost perfect as it is, at least for and in my hand...but ...there is a big ''but''… I am with you on this...

My first EDC knife was Tenacious in 8CR13MOV, which I bought when I was 17 years and few months old, that was in 2008. At that time I was already in love with Spyderco brand for three years since I laid my hands on L`Encyclopédie du Couteau from Olivier Achard in my local library. I was visiting reg...

Oh and I see we already replied to you on one thread like that before. DB2 is really the answer. It will last you decades
